MUSK-TRUMP FEUD DESCENDS INTO EMBARRASSING SPECTACLE. Maybe Elon Musk’s escalating attacks on President Donald Trump, and Trump’s increasingly irritated responses, were funny for a few minutes, given that the two had been best buddies just days ago. But the battle quickly sank into ugliness on Thursday. The display will not do any good for either the president or Musk, but it will delight Democrats, progressives, the Resistance, lawfare warriors, assorted Never Trumpers, and their many allies in the media.
How else to react to Musk appearing to endorse calls to impeach Trump? First Musk tweeted, “Time to drop the really big bomb: Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!” Then Musk added another tweet for emphasis: “Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.” Then, a Malaysia-based right-wing social media influencer named Ian Miles Cheong picked up Musk’s tweet and added, “President vs. Elon. Who wins? My money’s on Elon. Trump should be impeached and JD Vance should replace him.” And then, with impeachment on the Twitter table, Musk replied simply: “Yes.”
